can anyone tell me if they have experienced these symptoms. Not sure if it is black cohosh, vitamin e or evening primrose oil. I have had a migraine for 2.5 months. This week stopped all of the above and my headaches and facial swelling that happens at night are gone. Would like to reintroduce one of the above to stop hot flashes but I am not sure which is the culprit. Think it is evening primrose oil. Help!! Thank you all in advance.

Boy, it's so hard to tell! You're on the right track, introducing one thing at a time. It's possible that it's the EPO. Have you seen (((Trish's))) excellent article on EPO? It's HERE . There may be an answer for you there; maybe in your case flaxseed would work better??

Good luck with this. At least you know it's one of those things, and hopefully will find some relief soon!
